To that end I agree with him and often behave similarly. Unfortunately the writer spends far too much time explaining a simple idea. Drivers accelerate much faster than they decelerate [in other words we overreact with our brake pedals and underreact with our gas pedals]. This causes an accordian effect which is prevented by decelerating more slowly and trying to maintain a constant speed through congested areas..
